Impero & Edge extension deployment

[TechG]

The Latest version of Impero now has Edge support by using a extension you can download from windows store. Once installed it works fine till you switch user what results in extension having to be installed and authorised to run for every new user that logs on to the PC.

 

• Is there a way of deploying a extension in edge via group policy to all users and not to require each users authorisation for it to run.?
  
• Or is there a way to install extension on the PC and apply it to all users who login?
  
• Or is there another way to go about this? (Other than change classroom management software or Disabling Edge)
  
• 
  

Thanks in advance for any insight you might be able to share.

I just remove edge at build time. It's not necessary when you have IE and Chrome.

Internet explorer is a Microsoft legacy and I can see it being removed in future Builds of windows 10 other wise does not make much sense making a new browser for your operating system. Removing/Disabling the browser that is integrated in to the operating system just so you get one piece of software to work should not have to be a option. I would like to see Microsoft to implement a way to push out extensions across the network from servers.

As I see it then there are 2 problems neither look like being resolved any time soon

 

1. Microsoft - Need to add group policy entry's to control edge extensions
   
2. Impero - Way impero works as a addon/Extension might need to be looked at. Other monitoring software's work without the need for a addon/Extension what means they capture the data on a different level.
